Definitions

• the present invention relates to a transparent gas barrier polymer-glass- polymer laminated film and to a method for producing the same. More particularly the present invention relates to a transparent gas barrier polymer-glass-polymer laminated film wherein the oxygen transmission rates through the polymer-glass-polymer laminated film is lower than 0.2 cc/m /day.
• OTR oxygen transmission rate
• SI standard test conditions are 23 °C and 0% RH.
• Air is composed of about 21% oxygen and 79% nitrogen, with very small concentrations of other gases such as carbon dioxide and argon.
• Oxygen gas is a reactive compound responsible for food spoilage. Many chemical and biological reactions require oxygen in order to occur. In food packaging reduction of oxygen exposure extends the shelf life of oxygen-sensitive products.
• a transparent polymeric film is a polymer sheet which is transparent to light having a wavelength within the spectral range of 390 to 700 nanometers.
• Soluble silicates such as sodium, potassium, lithium and ammonium silicates are chemical substance glasses or aqueous solutions of glasses, resulting from combinations of alkali metal oxide or ammonium hydroxide and silica in varying proportions. All of the above soluble silicates are alkaline substances (pH values of the concentrated products being usually 10-13). Soluble silicates are produced as aqueous solutions. Silicates react rapidly when the pH of liquid silicate is lowered below pH- 11. Silicate species are crosslinked to form silicate polymers. The reaction proceeds rapidly with acidic species and carbon dioxide to form silicate polymers and a carbonate salt. Examples for this are acidic salts, organic acids, esters or carbonates. The formed carbonate salts tend to scatter light due to crystallization during the drying process (efflorescence).
• Silicates are characterized by the weight ratio of silica to oxide.
• dissolved sodium silicates are commercially produced in the ratio range of 1.5 to 3.2 (Si(3 ⁇ 4:Na2C)).
• This ratio represents an average of various molecular weight silicate species (such as monomers, trimers, tetramers etc.).
• the higher ratio (for example 3.2) is a low alkali content that is more readily neutralized and allows quicker polymerization/aggregration.
• Glass coating on polymeric articles may provide a way to improve gas and liquid barrier properties.
• methods used to deposit glass on polymers are the chemical routes that use chemical or physical vapor deposition, ion beam, sol-gel chemistry and alkali silicate chemistry.
• Alkali metal polysilicates are known as protective coatings that modify the surface properties of polymeric films and other articles; See for example GB 1007482; GB1424425; US1949914; US3102038; US3130061; US3180747; US3492137; US3522066; US3533816 and US3706603.
• Alkali silicates react with carbon dioxide to form alkali carbonates.
• Sodium silicates tend to react with carbon dioxide to form sodium carbonates and become progressively less water-soluble while Potassium silicate films are less likely than sodium silicate to develop a carbonate bloom or white efflorescent coat of alkali carbonate.
• Lithium silicate based gas barrier coatings for a variety of polymeric surfaces.
• Hecht and Her, Canadian Patent No. 993,738, describe a gas and liquid-impermeable coating for polymeric substrates comprising lithium polysilicate having a certain mole ratio of Si(3 ⁇ 4 to L1 2 O of about 1.6 to 4.6.
• US2998328 discloses the addition of titanium dioxide pigment and describes a finish or overcoat comprising a reactive liquid component comprising an aqueous solution of an alkali metal silicate and a pigmented blending component.
• the reactive liquid component dissolves an alkali metal silicate such as sodium silicate, potassium silicate, lithium silicate, or a mixture of such silicates in water.
• US5882798 and US6071624 disclose a mixture composition of alkali silicates in order to improve characterization of the coating layer, using Lithium and potassium copolysilicate coatings of the formula (M20)(Si02)y, wherein M2O is (Li 2 0)x (K 2 C I-X and wherein x ranges from 0.5 to less than 1, and y ranges from 1 to about 10, said solution comprising about up to 15% total solids content in order to improve permeability.
• US6071624 discloses an aqueous barrier coating composition for polymeric substrates.
• This patent describes that the use of potassium silicate is required together with lithium and sodium silicate because lithium and sodium silicate coatings tend to effloresce, i.e., become covered by powdery crystalline material as a result of atmospheric exposure.
• This patent also describes the use of poly(p-hydroxystyrene) in 0.1 N aqueous lithium hydroxide as a priming solution.
• the plastics film or other substrate should be a food grade plastic.
• Lithium coatings may limit the usage in such applications. For example: European legislation as presented in Union Guidelines on Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 on plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food limit the migration limits of Lithium to 0.6 mg/Kg material.
• GB 2447221 discloses a composition comprising a metal silicate dispersed throughout a film of a water-soluble film-forming acrylic solution polymer.
• the ratio of metal silicate to acrylic solution polymer may be 99: 1 to 4:1.
• a composition for forming a gas barrier coating is also disclosed, which comprises a solution of a metal silicate and a water-soluble, film-forming acrylic solution polymer in a solvent.
• the inorganic silicate layer of these disclosed coatings is brittle and tends to crack or delaminate when the polymer is flexed, mainly due to the weak bonding forces to the 100 polymer substrate, leading to poor gas and vapor impermeability properties.
• a proposed route to overcome the brittleness problems is incorporation of nanoparticles and/or polymer solution or emulsion into the silicate coating.
• EP2195390A1 relates to gas barrier coatings, having, in particular, the ability to block the passage of oxygen, said composition comprising a water-soluble metal
• silicate comprising at least 70% by weight of the solids in the composition, and the clay and polymer each comprising at least 1 % by weight of the total solids in the composition.
• the use of clay in combination with the metal silicates was also reported in JP2001260264 and GB2452718.
• GB 1068584 discloses a water based siliceous coating composition comprising
• At least one water soluble alkali silicate having a molar ratio S1O2/M2O of at least 3 wherein M is K or Na, and a combined water content of at least 18% by weight, at least one filler and/or one pigment and at least one film forming colloidal binder which is soluble in silicate solutions.
